PIcked up the vehicle. Problem is solved with the half-shaft axle lube at the hub solution. They also replaced my noisey door strap and fixed my creaking passenger door (under warranty).

Very interesting and good to know. I wonder if they are using the same parts source etc. and Rivian had the better idea of getting their parts supplier to do corrective action on their determined non-conformances (which could include a re-designed part or adjusted tolerance etc.). I think...

Oh I'm aware of that. But the arguement to be made is that the noise is caused by a failure due to malfunctioning parts (either mismatched or out of tolerance or incorrect tolerance of the mfr'd part). As its only a common failure in Tesla vehicles. There is something vastly different about...

I'd say just replace or clean/lube the calipers/pistons etc. They shouldn't be too pricey. Its the next possible failure mode up the chain of 5 whys for root cause. Because brakes are pretty standard car parts, you can take it to any independent mechanic and just ask them to clean/lubrate the...

One thing you can try and do is call your insurance back and ask them if they changed the estimated milleage driven. Some insurance companies (unless you report milleage) will do an automatic milleage increase which will also increase your insurance rate. If you can confirm low miles driven, you...

Just wanted to chime in and state that my 2022 M3 Performance has this issue, is currently in service for the same fix and the SC is refusing to cover under warranty stating that its a "maintenance issue." I asked my service adviser where in the manual does it state this is normal required...

My 2022 Performance has the click/clanging noise and the SC just told me its the axle splines (car is at SC in Costa Mesa now). They are charging me $66 for the fix stating that its a "maintenance issue" and refusing to cover under warranty. My car has 32K miles and is still under the full...

I've found that mine does this when you move your butt on the driver's seat sensor. If I'm parked, watching something and move my butt weight in the seat slightly, triggers the problem fairly dependibly. Seems the system syncs when certain sensors are triggered. Mine also does it when...

Update: Took the car out in a pretty nasty storm today with the new Falken FK510 and they performed just fine and just as good as the Pirellis did IMO. My efficiency got a little worse but that's expected in the rain. My rated efficiency for my normal commute drive went from 220 Wh/mi to 250...

Mine has the same flappy label sound from the passenger side when the fan is blowing on high/max. Its soo ANNOYING! Every time I've taken my car to Tesla and try to get it to make the sound, the car just spontaneously decides it doesn't want to do it, so they won't attempt any fix. It seems to...

Yah I've attempted twice for Tesla to resolve the errors. Each time they send me on my way with no work done (they state they see this error in other 3's and that its an alert no cause for concern). Should I try a 3rd time? Maybe, but it doesn't seem they are inerested unless the car is...

Where do you find info for a proper PCS test? I constantly get a VCFront a059 alert regarding inproper resistance between the PCS and VCFront. Tesla refuses to address it. I'd love to further troubleshoot this myself given Tesla's ineptitude on the matter. I noticed the new software version...

Yah, might be a Michelin downgrade. I had those on my BMW M2. Loved them. I was considering them heavily but they just weren't in stock anywhere. I'm hoping these last up to their wear rating which is higher than the Pirellis, which if wear ratings mean anything, technically they should. Sucks...

Can a Mod update the thread title to correct my spelling error for "FK10" to "FK510" please?

I decided to dump the Pirelli Pzero stock tires from my Model 3 Performance. The Pzeros lasted about 23K miles. I wasn't about to shell out another >$400 per tire and so took my chances with the Falken Azenis FK510 235/35ZR20. This was at the recommendation of the tire shop. They were $182/tire...

Just following up with my replies in this thread. My daily stanby turned out to be more like 4 to 6% over the last week in 4 hours between drives. I discovered my poor "phantom" drain from standby was being caused by the Tesla mobile app itself. I unistalled it and re-installed it. No more high...

So, I've learned how to combat my high loss per day in standby.... use "power off" from the safety settings. This has reduced my standby/parked consumption to ALMOST ZERO. I've been doing this for about 3 days now. I've eliminated the major consumption while parked/between drives. In two days...

Wow some of you are only losing 1 mi per day on standby??? My car loses at least 1.5 to 2% per day (~10 miles) with sentry/hvac/dashcams all off. The car still tells me this is "optimal" amount of loss.

That sounds about right. Tesla battery degredation is on a logorithmic plot and starts quickly, then degredation slows down A LOT and levels out. I'm in a 2022 Perfomance and at 87% sate of charge, on average, I only get about 245 miles. Actual is even less than that. You could run the Service...

Splitvolt DID end up warrantying my unit, the new unit has worked flawlessly for past 10 months.

Was your outcome more fruitfull than mine? Tesla basically sent me away, what did they do for you?

For mine, Tesla Service stated that "because the alert is in service mode and not under your driver profile, we cannot/wont do anything about it. If it pops up in your driver profile alerts, then its a problem and we'll address." LOL Couldn't believe it. Anyway, I took the car back, the alert...

I just had this same exact error and it happened during charging to only 87% not 100% like yours. Did Tesla ever take care of it? I have a service appt. scheduled in a week. I also got a VCFRONT_a059_inputresistancehigh error a day before this one. Both errors were only alerted in service mode...

Very nice.

Wow... thats a lot of electrons.

Truth. I can attest to this. I got 7X what my medical/chiropractor expenses were on top of my car etc.

Looking good.

Still patiently waiting for when we can pick up the individual pieces. :) and when they are available... I'd love to pop in the shop in person. I'm located about 10 mins from Anaheim.

Before I bought my 2022 Tesla, I honestly didn't want one but begrudgingly ordered one based on my wife's suggestion "I think you really belong in a EV". I had an opinion that the interiors sucked and were boring and materials were cheap. But then I drove one and I flipped my bias opinion...

I wouldn't recommend a SplitVolt device at all. Mine failed after about 6 months of use. Trying to get a warranty replacement with no success.

I wouldn't recommend the SplitVolt at all. Mine failed after about 6 months of use and haven't been able to get a warranty replacement.

You're the one soliciting input. This whole post is really odd and contridictory. Its entirely a financial topic because you're weighing pros/cons of depreciation and placing the money elsewhere. You're honestly just taking the topic in circles. Based on the logic for the thread for "anyone," it...

A car is not an investment and you said "I 'm not planning on selling the car any time soon, or at all" therefore making any logic related to depreciation/appreciation and miles driven not applicable here at all, which then it merely comes down to affordability for you of the Tesla itself. If...

Enjoy the LR! Keep in mind too, if you want some more power later you can add it in with a software upgrade that costs a couple grand. Now comes the difficult wait for the car to arrive! :)

You can put the M3P into "chill mode" to calm the power go pedal delivery. I drove both the LR and M3P before settling on M3P. I recommend just driving both before buying. Let the experience decide for you. Its a very personal decision. The tires on the M3P are incredible damage prone...

Seems like at a couple months out. Thanks for the update!

Any estimate of date for consumers to purchase individual pieces yet?

Wow that is some deep damage. Sorry you're going through this. I think I averted a similar issue two days ago while I was sitting in my car parked eating my lunch. A random dude looked over, saw my Tesla, then started walking slowly over to it, just staring at it (he was wearing gloves on both...

Determined on my own that mine depends on seat position (forward/backward) on the chair rails. Seat all the way back causes it. If I move the seat slightly forward noise goes away. Probably the chair sleds are misaligned. Must have moved over time just slightly because I had the chair all the...

^^ This. Couldn't agree more.

My 2022 M3P just developed this after 9K miles. SOOO annoying. Had a service appointment for today but canceled it to attempt to address it myself. Need to also learn how to remove the seat backs. I think there are some LED posts somewhere that include the instructions for removing the seat...

Looking forward so maybe I can slowly piece it together over time.

I'm pleasantly surprised by how happy I am with the Tesla. I thought I would be let down by the simplicity of the interior over time, but the simplicity and minimalism are actually growing on me and provide a more mentally relaxing drive when I need it to. Im coming to the end of my 5 month in...

My next door neighbor just ordered a Bmw i4 m50. We've had many discussions about my M3P and BMW. I came from a 2021 BMW M2 Competition in a manual. Its true that the BMW will most likely have a nicer interior. But having driven many BMW M cars in the past, the trade-off between BMW driving...

I think you missed where the OP said mentioned its a used car. OP probably walked right into the used car dealer and walked out with the car. Also, if you ordered from Tesla, your ETA is listed in your profile for the car. You can also visit the waiting room threads to get a better idea. My...

Yup... turns out premium white interior really isn't premium after all. Mine have the same crappy problem and I took delivery in last week of November. Seats looked amazing for first couple months, but now have developed all these stupid creases everywhere. Not to mention I'm 2 weeks into the...

"Not for everybody." = "To expensive for almost everyone." Parts look beautiful though. Best looking kit for the Model 3 I think. Too bad I'd need a second job to afford it.

Just received my yellow stickers 4 months after submission. Interestingly I received my CA $2K rebate check on the exact same day. That also took about 4 months.

yup

After 6K miles in my 2022 Model 3 Performance, we ran into our first issue with normal use and its only minor and not mechanical. The floor mats edges basically have degraded themselves. Tesla replaced them without any haggling. Mobile service came out to the car within 3 days of submitting the...
